  2. Why bayonet? Just send those millions stark naked, and overwhelm Taiwan detention facilities. 😅 I mean, the weakness of a country who said to upheld human rights is that they can't just mow down those millions of naked people and shouting "Moar!'. They have to set aside manpower, location, and accommodation for those millions.

  3.  @williamwalker8107  It's a cold war era joke, playing on China's population size against small countries. Of course the caveat is the targeted country must uphold human rights (setup POW camp, with adequate accommodation, etc. which will overwhelm their resources). If targeted country does not uphold human rights, then they will just mow down those million of unarmed invaders.

  4.  @oneviwatara9384  Zero interest? Like in banks? That's just a small part of what Wall Street is. Someone once said that money business is a business of confidence. And Wall Street is able to maintain their customers' confidence that their money is safe in the care of Wall Street's numerous institutions. Confidence is a very precious thing. It's expensive. And Wall Street have it in abundance. That's where those trillion dollars come from. You want to tear down Wall Street? Easy. Make people lose their confidence on Wall Street.

  9. Stagnant wages is why the price can't be decreased much. The price of bread in developed countries is mostly for service instead of ingredients. Buy bulk flour and start to learn how to bake. Youtube has a lot of tutorials about it.

  12. A cold war joke goes like this .. day 1 : send 1 million people with boats, rafts, plastic floaters across the strait and let Taiwan takes them as POW. day 2 : send another 1 million people with boats, rafts, plastic floaters across the strait and let Taiwan takes them as POW. day 3 : send yet another 1 million people with boats, rafts, plastic floaters across the strait and let Taiwan takes them as POW. day 4 : send a message, "Surrender or we will send more." day 5 : Taiwan surrenders. 🤣

  15. @ portland3974 Dude, I'm local. Ok? What I said is what our press reported about the protest. IMIP is not entirely Chinese. Indonesian government has their ownership share too (iirc, the law requires the government to own 51% of shares). The demand to use buses instead of trucks was most likely came from them. The problem is the worker contractors (the outsourcing firms), who want to have it cheap. They refused to buy (or rent) buses and instead stopped transporting their workers.

  16. I'm from Indonesia, and I agree. Cheap bread can go as low as 5 cents here. 30 cents is lower middle class bread.

  19. Reminds me of Frasier in tv series Cheers when he gave tip of 100,000 liras to a bellboy. "Lira is very cheap", he claimed, but that sum converted to around USD 100. No wonder he soon found himself surrounded by excited bellboys.

  25.  @ak47modwarfare  In my country (Indonesia), wheat or to be precise, flour, is imported by government sanctioned cartel. Won't the cartel build big industry for derivative products from flour? Sure thing. They built the biggest instant ramen factory in the world out of it (google "indomie" for reference). But their greed wouldn't let them keep their flour for themselves. There are a lot of money to be made by selling flour to general public, so they sell their flour. They even sell it to unaffiliated instant ramen factories (I don't know why, maybe because they can make money easier that way?). That's how I can get 1 kilogram of flour for less than 1 dollar. And baking 6-8 piece of bread will only need about 2 cups or 250 grams of it. Add sugar, cheese, sesame (or other condiments to your fancy), electricity ... I figure the total to be less than 50 cents a batch or less than 10 cents a piece. You can't judge something is terrible just because it's cheap. You should examine the price level of the locality, and you can see if the price they put is reasonable or not. Also, all this talk about food quality in China can be traced to ignorance and confirmation bias. Just because one of them "mining" gutter oil, do not mean that all of them use gutter oil. My country also has history with gutter oil. It was rampant around 50 years ago when we were far far poorer. But today we are more prosperous, and nobody in their right mind will use gutter oil because it's just not worth the risk of losing one's business just to be able to squeeze a few more cents. No, not because government (well, they will prosecute, of course, but they can be bought🤫), but people talk, consumers talk, everybody talk, and before long nobody will buy your products. And today's easy smartphone access will spread it even faster. Edit, addition: "Today, the US seems to be overreliant on china and other countries for manufacturing." Do you know why Argentina became a poor country? Youtube channel VisualEconomik (or is it its sister channel VisualPolitik? sorry, I forget which one) has a video a few weeks ago that basically said that it all began with Argentina's political elites wanted to make sure Argentina would not have to rely on other country's manufacturing. All went downhill after that. For me, US problem with China is that China used its manufacturing capability to steal US technology. If it's just to have them manufacture stuffs, then it won't be any problem.

  26.  @michaelbizon444  Sure, there's a subsidy for flour import, that's why I can get flour in comparable price as you even when my country have to import practically all flour I can find in the marketplace. But we do not compare flour prices. What matter is, both you and I can make bread as cheap as 10 cents a piece with the flour price that we get. And I'm sure that shop in China can make their bread that cheap too, without the need to fulfill your suspicion. What made bread so expensive in developed world is not the price of its ingredients, but the service price (bakers and waiters won't accept $10 a day wage there). If you exchange the service price of developed world with the service price of China, you can get relatively same price as that shop in the video. So, no need to fulfill your suspicion. btw, bread is not novelty in China. They have made buns for thousands of years (steamed, not baked). It is a novelty in Indonesia, since as you said, we don't grow wheat here. Bread was introduced by our colonial masters (Dutch's VOC) several centuries ago and only recently it's available at affordable price to general public.

  27.  @michaelbizon444  It's a case of confirmation bias. Just because some people do that, doesn't mean everybody there do that. Out of 1.3 billion people in China, you are guaranteed 100% that you can find 1000 people do stupid cringey thing there. And when they happened to be filmed, your confirmation bias made you believe they all doing that stupid cringey thing. Then, if you release the video of their stupid cringey action one by one every day, you get three years of youtube channel material of Chinese people do stupid cringey things. And after three years, there will be huge followers of your channel who believe that most of Chinese people are stupid and cringey. For comparison US also has ... Florida Man in action😅And it's just from some 20 million people.

  42. Does the CCP read The Marching Morons (*) as their manual? Because the thinking process of those little pinks are very similar to what described in the novel. (*) The Marching Morons has a premise similar to Idiocracy (i.e. each succeeding generation are more stupid than prior generation), and it's written several decades earlier. It told the story of hidden government who successfully dumbing down the people, enabled them to convince the masses that the new products were of higher quality simply by slapping sticker that listing better specifications, while the stuff itself was actually of lower quality with worse specifications.

  45. According to local news, the latest protest didn't have anything to do with Chinese workers. The protest was about the transportation vehicles requirement. Before March 1, the worker contractors can use trucks (no roof, no seat, just plain trucks) to transport their workers to the factory sites. Since it is unsafe for the workers, IMIP demanded that worker contractors to use bus after March 1. However, the worker contractors decided to throw tantrum and stopped transporting their workers, hence the riot, which for some reasons, IMIP became the target.

  47. In 1st world country, sure. You can go out of work for months and government will give you unemployed welfare. You can even sue your company for your salary. Not in 2nd world country. If the government think you are a bore, they will disappear you. No welfare, no salary for you. On the flip of coin, if the government think the company is a bore, they will disappear the company owner. Still no welfare, no salary for you, though. Yay for socialism!
